Will there be a higher-grade customizable offering for us high-karma old timers who haven't seen a top bar in that color for years? I'd hate to associate myself with all these Orange Bars. Buying, nonetheless. Not to wear in public, of course.

Geez kyro, logout every now and then. :)

Lots of negativity here, but I love the design. I wouldn't buy a shirt if it said hackernews on it. I would get to many questions for too many people, and I don't really want to explain what I'm wearing. This is perfect. People who know, know. People who don't, won't care.

I don't seen an overwhelming amount of negativity here at all. Only couple of posts near the top respectfully commenting on the design. The reaction here seems to be positive across the board.

I don't really get this T, i understand its going for minimalism, but would someone who frequents HN recognize it if they did not already know its affiliation?(i wouldn't) & if the answer is no, then whats the point of the T? Edit for clarity: Not knocking the cause, it is great. Just the design really, maybe im missing something.

I kind of wish this were the top comment. It would be humorously appropriate if the top comment on the thread about the official HN t-shirt were the traditional nitpicking/point-missing type that is so commonly the top comment when people launch new technology here.

I read HN nitpicking posts in the voice of Comic Book Guy from The Simpsons.

"Why are you using American Apparel for a multi-threaded shirt and not Erlang?"

Does that sort of thing bug you on some level Paul?

I always had you mentally as pretty stoically philosophically detached from that sort of thing. But I've seen a couple of your comments where you seem genuinely bothered when people are catty or mean to others you care about. Would love to hear your take on how you mentally approach that sort of thing in general.

Too bad they don't integrate with Coinbase.com!

We're working on accepting Bitcoin through Coinbase, just wasn't quite ready for this tee!

SWEET! Can I pay via coinbase by sending to an email address instead? It's super easy :)

I agree. Although the symmetry of the design is inline with the tennets of Minimalism, it unfortunately makes for a piece that lacks movement and vitality. You definitely won't be seeing me walking through the West Village with that monstrosity plastered on my chest.

I think the inside joke is kind of the point.

I agree. I like it. It's absent of words, which always adds a cheesy factor to clothes, in my opinion. and it's not an in-your-face look at me I'm a tourist t-shirt with a big HN on the front. That you would have to explain to your grandma. not cool. It's just a shirt with a simple "design", that no outsider would consider twice or bother to ask about. So you can wear it in public. I think it's very classily done.

I just wish I could see what the slate grey one looked like before ordering.
